    (Pollution Control Facility
    Siting Review)
    ORDER OF THE BOARD (by S.T. Lawton, Jr.):
    On September 21, 2000, CC Landfill, Inc. (Landfill) filed an appeal of the denial of its
    petition for siting of its pollution control facility located in Coles County, Illinois. Landfill
    appeals the Coles County Board decision, which denied local siting approval for the CC Landfill
    Pollution Control Facility. On October 19, 2000, the Board accepted the matter involving the
    Coles County Board for hearing, but dismissed the Coles County Environmental Force (CCEF)
    and the individual members of the Coles County Board as improper respondents in this matter.
    On October 23, 2000, CCEF filed a petition to intervene in this matter with the Board.
    The petition, dated October 19, 2000, appears to have been sent on the same date as the Board
    adopted its order. CCEF did not raise any arguments or evidence in its petition that were not
    before the Board when it dismissed CCEF from this matter on October 19, 2000. The Board
    denies the petition by CCEF on the same grounds as those set forth in its previous order.
    Pursuant to Section 40.1(a) of the Environmental Protection Act, in a hearing before the Board
    regarding the denial of such siting, only the county board or governing body of the municipality
    shall appear as a respondent. 415 ILCS 5/40.1(a) (1998). CCEF is an environmental
    organization, not the county board or governing body of the municipality.
    IT IS SO ORDERED.
    I, Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk of the Illinois Pollution Control Board, hereby certify that the
    above order was adopted on the 2nd day of November 2000 by a vote of 7-0.
    Dorothy M. Gunn, Clerk
    Illinois Pollution Control Board
